Common use of Promotion, Review, Reappointment, Non-Reappointment and Appeal for Librarian Clause in Contracts

Promotion, Review, Reappointment, Non-Reappointment and Appeal for Librarian. Faculty in Ranks of Librarian II and Librarian III i. An NTT Librarian Faculty member may be appointed to the rank of Librarian II or Librarian III by the Xxxx with approval of the Xxxxxxx and President. This determination will be made based on the best interests of the Library and University. Existing librarian faculty in other ranks may request appointment to Librarian II or Librarian III by submitting a written request to the Xxxx, who will review the request and forward a recommendation to the Xxxxxxx for approval as indicated above. ii. The Library Xxxx and library faculty will establish expectations for Librarian II or Librarian III in the areas of librarianship, teaching or teaching-related activities, and professional development, and scholarship and professional development for promotion, e.g. instruction, metadata creation, acquisitions, collection development, resource evaluation, and reference. Also, the expectations for teaching, service, and scholarship are specified herein and are not the same for tenured or tenure-track faculty members. NTT Librarian Faculty positions do not have the same expectations of scholarship as tenure-track faculty but are expected to perform service and pursue the scholarship of research, publications in librarianship or other areas, scholarly presentations and exhibits satisfactorily as defined by library standards and criteria. 1. An initial appointment as Librarian II will normally be for a period of six years through one-year contracts, subject to the non-reappointment provisions contained herein. In addition to annual merit review, a review of the original NTT Librarian Faculty appointment will be conducted by the Library Xxxx and Xxxxxxx at the end of the initial six year period, as specified in 2 below. 2. When a Librarian II is being considered for reappointment or promotion after a six-year term as Librarian II, the Xxxx of the Library will first consider whether both programmatic need and available resources support renewal or promotion. If so, tenured librarian faculty and any Librarian III faculty will conduct a thorough evaluation of the librarian faculty member’s librarianship, teaching or teaching-related activities, professional development, and service. If insufficient librarian faculty are available to comprise a review committee, the Library Xxxx and the Xxxxxxx will select faculty from other colleges to serve on the Library Tenure and Promotion Committee. The librarian faculty member will provide a current curriculum vitae, merit evaluations, and at least three letters of evaluation selected from a list of faculty members approved by the Library Xxxx, including at least one proposed by the librarian faculty member. Evaluators may be members of the Library or, if appropriate, other relevant units at FHSU. The Library Xxxx will summarize the Library’s review and state the Library’s recommendation for reappointment or non-reappointment. The Library Xxxx will send that recommendation to the Xxxxxxx and provide a copy of the evaluation to the librarian faculty member under review. The Xxxxxxx will make the final decision whether to reappoint or promote. However, such decision can be appealed to the President of FHSU. The Xxxxxxx will establish timelines for this process. 3. An appointment in the Librarian II or Librarian III pathway does not establish an expectation of consideration for re-appointment or automatic promotion, nor does it lead to tenure. A Librarian II or Librarian III position is subject to non-renewal pursuant to the terms of this Article, and an NTT Librarian Faculty member may be dismissed with cause for dismissal, in accordance with University and Regents policies. A Librarian II or Librarian III may be initially appointed or reappointed for a period of less than six years when the Library and University have determined that the need for the services of the librarian faculty member will end within less than the six-year term. Appointment to a Librarian II or Librarian III position is a privilege not a right, and the failure of the University to appoint a librarian faculty member to such a position shall not give rise to a grievance under the MOA.
